<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Please join the <u>Poets' Asylum</u> on Sunday, May 17th for
our regular poetry open mic and a feature by PSI President <b>Scott Woods </b>.
Woods has published work in a variety of publications and has been featured
multiple times in national press, including multiple appearances on National
Public Radio. He MCs the Writers' Block Poetry Night, an open mic series in
Columbus , Ohio . In 2006 he became the first poet to ever complete a 24-hour
solo poetry reading, a feat he bested every year since by performing for 24
hours each time, but without repeating a single poem. You can check out his
work at <a href="http://www.blackair.org/" target="_blank">www.blackair.org</a>.
</font></p><p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Come on down to Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street,
Worcester). The reading starts at <b><font color="red">6:00 p.m.</font></b>
No cover; please throw some money in the bucket to support the feature.</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks to all who came out for the Mother's Day edition of
the Poets' Asylum. We had our first full open in a couple of months, it was
good to hear a wide variety of work. Welcome to first time reader Peter, do
come again.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Asylum regular <b>Gary Hoare</b> was our feature this week.
Gary moved from off the cuff readings to reading from the printed page to
reading off his iPod Touch. He covered a They Might Be Giants song and read
an excerpt from Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams. While he
shared a couple of his slam poems he mostly stuck with quieter, introspective
pieces. His work found inspiration in diverse sources, from the History
Channel to the grocery store to recycling. It was a well formed set. Thanks
for the words Gary.</font></p>
